Are Injury Prone Players Worth the Risk?

Sandi worth the risk if you have good cover. Clarke good for a cashcow. The others are better for unlimited trades platforms.

Yep, can't see myself not starting them barring injury.

What's going on mate?

You are mental if you do that.

I'm seriously considering it but with Longer as R3. I think you would definitely need pretty solid depth if you went with those two

Anyone looking at Chris Knights as an option up front?

Scores of 71 (Magpies), 90 (Dockers) & 102 (Geelong) from full games last season. I see him as definitely in our Best 22 & obviously has scoring potential but that body of his certainly worries me.

Is he back training fully from that knee?

Toga · January 29, 2014, 01:55:31 PM

I think so mate - not 100% on that one though so let me double check!

Toga · January 29, 2014, 02:01:37 PM

Just had a quick look and this is what I found:

http://www.richmondfc.com.au/news/2013-12-05/dark-knights-almost-over

So he's got his sights set on playing Pre-season games & to be right for Round 1 - I'm pretty sure I remember something about him being back with the main group earlier this month so yeah think he's gonna be ready to go by the start of the season.

Is anyone interested in him?

Ricochet · January 29, 2014, 02:07:11 PM

What possie are you looking at? F5?

Toga · January 29, 2014, 03:25:42 PM

Yeah F5 - could even make that F6 if I wanted to.. :o

Ricochet · January 29, 2014, 03:30:08 PM

Its pretty pricey for there I think man. Especially when there is good value around the 200k mark. But if Clark, Higgins, Fasolo and co fail to make round 1 Knights would definitely be on the radar

Toga · January 29, 2014, 03:32:22 PM

Yeah I guess he is pretty pricey for that position isn't he. If my other lines work out & look strong enough though and I've got the $$ I might take a punt on him though

Update on Clark

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-01-30/no-date-for-clark

MELBOURNE key forward Mitch Clark expects to be back training with the main group next week but has not set a date when he will return from his foot injury.

He says that after such a long lay-off all he can do is take it one session at a time.

He had a solid block of training before Christmas, so he can afford to be managed through January, running alone at training and rebuilding confidence in his body.
